I’ve realized recently that I’m not easy to shop for.

I always thought I was easy to shop for: I don’t need much, I tend to not buy “stuff” for myself, so get me cute things to wear or have in my house, right?

Yes, I heard it. That’s hard to shop for. The reason I’m hard to shop for is I save all my money for travel! I’ve gotten so used to not spending money on “stuff” that I don’t expect others to do that for me either!

Do you have someone in your life like me? Who loves travel so much that they don’t know what to ask for? Today, we’re sharing a gift guide for the traveler that will feed their wanderlust even if you can’t buy them a plane ticket.

Everything on this list I either have or I really want: I’m only going to recommend it if I actually want it. So click any link for specific products to get some holiday inspiration!

Gift guide for the traveler: 25 ideas

To pack

The obvious: luggage. I’ve had this one for years and love it! If you want a hard-sided bag, I’ve had my eye on this one.

This backpack has a built-in camera case, seriously simplifying my packing game. That space is convertible, so anything you may need to give a bit of extra padding to can fit like a glove!

Never run out of clean undies: these two bags make it easy to see when you need to do laundry.

A great purse or day bag is essential: big enough to fit the camera, water bottle, and maybe a sweater or swimsuit without looking like you’re shlepping luggage around all day. This one’s on my Christmas list.

To wear

These infinity scarves with a hidden zipper pouch are what anti-pickpocket dreams are made of.

A Shutterfly gift card for using those travel photos! From photo albums to canvas prints to coffee mugs, it’s my favorite do-it-yourself photo printing site. (P.S. That link gets you a free photobook when you sign up!)
